They weren't allowed in the school and didn't speak to anyone. Supposedly, this visit wasn't part of the operation. That's the claim. But they didn't ACCIDENTALLY show up to the school. So what's going on?

Why did you go searching for an 11 year old that you clearly wanted to detain without their parents present!? Like sorry even if it was a video "threatening" Trump why the f*ck wouldn't you contact the parents.

I’m so angry about this because we are literally the reason behind every single internet trend. And yet....

Black influencers are underpaid, and a new Instagram account is proving it

Influencers are sharing horror stories and advice on Influencer Pay Gap

De-fucking-fund these fucks

[saturnineaqua]

not for nothing, but i have been accosted by cops from all 4 of those countries mentioned above, and so have all the other black people i know who have traveled to/live in them, so education really doesnt do much to cure racism

[neshatriumphs]

At all. These companies and institutions are run by highly educated racists that get to make life hell levels above the cops. Education don’t matter at all in them being racist murderers.

[blackfilmmakers]

I’ve had family that lived in Norway and Germany that were beaten to the pulp even though they weren’t armed and there like 8 officers. So no, education means nothing if they are still taught racist shit

GOP senators meltdown after Democrats roll over them and pass the COVID aid bill

Republican senators on Saturday voiced their dismay that Democrats passed coronavirus relief without letting the GOP water it down to make Joe Biden's re-election less likely.

Learning from the mistakes from the Obama administration, the Biden administration focused on the policy outcomes of the legislation instead of focusing on the optics of attempting bipartisanship.

“The Senate approved a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan on Saturday, as Democrats muscled through a marathon debate — and overcame dissent from moderates within their own ranks — to move one step closer to delivering President Biden his first legislative victory. Democrats voted to adopt the bill without any Republican support after a more than 24-hour, around-the-clock session,” The Washington Post reported Saturday. “It will now fall to the House to consider the sweeping package once again before it can become law and any of the aid can be dispersed.”

The original cowboys were black and latinx people because the ranches were the only place they could get employment in the west

[saturnineaqua]

Everything that white man said “culture diffusion” is literally colonial smash n’ grab.

[theonlyleftydesk]

The terms are LITERALLY right there.

White men never would have been called cowBOY in the first place…they called them cowMEN. It was only Black and Latinx/Latine people who they denied the respectful term “man” to, calling them “boy” and “girl/gal” pejoratively.

Literally, the word ‘cowboy’ was a pejorative used in reference to nonwhite cattle handlers, and this was common kowledge up until the late 1940s, white people decided the word looked cute and they wanted it for themselves. Hence when all those westerns became popular TV shows in the 50s and 60s, they started calling white men cowboys, and removed all people of color (except the stereotypical Savage Indians, who were usually played Latinx/Latine actors…)

And the word ‘buckaroo’ is a corruption of the Latine/Latinx Spanish term “vaquero”…which literally means “cow man”…because racist white people couldn’t be assed to learn Spanish or how to roll their Rs.
